A term, once used accurately to describe the most virulent evil, has become a charge flung at the mildest critic of Israel, particularly concerning its atrocious treatment of Palestinians. Considering Israel, Palestine, the Israel lobby in the US, the current Middle East crisis, and the ramifications at home and abroad, this book has recurring relevance!. Herein you'll find 18 of the finest essays and articles (from nine Jews and nine Gentiles!). A lot of the names will be familiar—Edward Said, Robert Fisk, Norman Finkelstein, Lenni Brenner, Uri Avnery, plus the editors. Then, there's former CIA analysts Bill and Kathy Christison, the trenchant and witty philosopher Michael Neumann, seasoned Capitol Hill staffer "George Sutherland," Will Yeoman's path-breaking essay on Israel and divestment, Shaheed Alam—who became a target of the fanatical Daniel Pipes—and Israeli journalist Yigal Bronner. Plus Kurt Nimmo, Bruce Jackson, Jeffrey Blankfort, and more. The first of the Counterpunch series from AK Press, is a timely anthology on how silence and complicity in crimes against a betrayed people has been enforced. Now part of our "holy shit, is it really $2 retail?!?!?" department!
